Who we are

A family of artists, not a shopfront.

The Tattoo Parlor opened in Kelana Jaya in 2014. Three resident artists work here full time, joined through the year by guest artists from Korea, Hong Kong, Romania and Sarawak.

The room is bright and clean — something customers keep writing about unprompted. Walk in without an appointment and the consultation costs nothing.

Mid flash

8–15 cm. Most of the wall sits here.

Before you sit

Six things to do the day before.

Eat a real meal Blood sugar is the difference between an easy session and a rough one. Sleep, and drink water Rested skin takes ink better and hurts less. Keep it under three drinks And nothing that thins your blood for 24 hours before. Wear loose clothing Nothing that will rub against a fresh tattoo on the way home. Clear your afternoon The artist takes the time the piece needs. Do not book anything after. Do not party the night before Their advice, word for word: getting tattooed hungover is no fun for anyone.

Aftercare

The first two weeks decide how it ages.

Their own procedure, in order. Follow it and the six-month touch-up guarantee has your back either way.

  1. Take the wrapping off

    Not before, not much later. The tattoo needs air to start closing.

    After 2 hours
  2. Wash it gently with warm water

    Remove every trace of blood, plasma and leaked ink. No scrubbing, no cloth.

    Straight after unwrapping
  3. Pat dry with soft paper towel

    Pat, never rub. A bath towel carries bacteria and catches on the skin.

    Immediately
  4. Start aftercare when it dries up

    Keep it clean and moisturised from then until it stops feeling like a wound.

    Usually day 2 – 4
  5. Leave the gym alone

    If the tattoo sits on a moving part of your body it heals slower. Give it room.

    At least 2 weeks

And four things not to do.

Do not scratch or pick at it, however much it itches. No bath tubs, swimming pools or the sea until it is healed. Keep it out of direct sunlight. No tight clothing over a fresh piece.

How do you know it is healed? Your body tells you — the tattoo stops feeling like it is there. If you are unsure, give it a few more days before you go back to normal.

Place is just brilliant, such a friendly team, great vibes, good taste in music & art! It was my cousin’s and my first time there, I wanted a cover up and they were patient with me!

Hannah WrightTestimonial
★★★★★

They are not just amazing artist but amazing people. And it’s not some dark and dingy place, it’s well lit and reasonable priced. A definite recommendation for your first inking.

Friendly tattoo artist where I got myself my first tattoo. Explained throughout what are the things I should do to take care of the tattoo.

Sunmark SalmonTestimonial
★★★★★

We finally got the tattoos we have been talking about for our wedding anniversary — who kept their shop open until almost midnight to get the design right and finish working on the tattoos.

Janice HortonTestimonial
★★★★★

Despite being what you’d call a simple tattoo the artist took great care to make sure the line was straight and even all the way round. I am really happy with the result.

Vafa ChewTestimonial
★★★★★

Super friendly and informative. Artist perfectly understood my unusual design and made it tenfolds better than I could imagine. Worked really fast and the result is gorgeous.

Before you come

Questions people ask.

It is RM100, or 10% of the piece if that is more. It books your artist’s date and pays for the design work that starts before you arrive, so it is non-refundable — but it comes off the final price. You can pay it in cash or by card at the studio.

Usually, yes — they have done a lot of them. But every piece is different and they will not promise anything sight unseen. Bring it in or send a photo first.

That is what the free consultation is for. Collect images you are drawn to over a few weeks — a pattern always shows up, in subject or style or both. Bring the pile in and the artist works from there, sketching a custom design from scratch so you see it before anything is permanent.

Anywhere you like, but some areas fade or stretch more than others, and size and shape change how a piece ages. Worth talking through before the needle comes out — that conversation is part of the consultation.

The surface settles in a few days; the skin underneath takes longer. You will know it is done when you stop feeling it. Avoid workouts for at least two weeks if it sits on a part of you that moves.

No. Walk-ins are welcome any day between 11am and 8pm, and the consultation is free either way. Booking a slot just means the artist has your design ready when you arrive.

Come and tell us your idea.

Free consultation, no appointment needed. Bring a photo, a sketch, or nothing at all.
